60-66 Frame swap question?

[andyh1956]

Scott I have in the past put a whole set of '65 sheet metal on a 1972 frame. The differences I found were:
1- the frame is a little taller, by about 1/2" I believe.
2- The forward cross member under the radiator is different.
3- the front frame horns are different.
4- The rear cab mounts are different.
5- The holes in the front cab mounts were 1/8" larger in diameter.
6- The frame is indented for a p/s gearbox.
7- the front radiator supports on the frame are...I can't remember...
The whole front suspension from the later trucks bolts in but is a little wider, I used a '73.
I am at present building a '66 using a '71 4x4 frame & I don't plan on having any more problems with it than I did with the '65. You will need to find the rear cab mounts for sure, hope this helps a little!
